The Poor in Spirit
Matthew 5:3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Those who are poor in spirit know that they have not achieved moral excellence
Those who are poor in spirit recognize their need for salvation
Those who are poor in spirit cast themselves upon God’s compassion.
Triumph through Songs in the Night
Job 35:10 But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,
Songs serve as a release from sorrow
Songs help us to visualize things as they ought to be
Songs help us to endure until the morning comes
The Confessions of Job
Job 42:1 Then Job replied to the LORD:
I know that God can do all things
I have talked too much for my own good
I abhor myself for my lack of faith
Eternal Security with God
Matthew 6:28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
Eternal security is based on:
The acceptance of Christ as our Savior
The belief that good will triumph over evil
The assurance that God will keep his word
Psalm 30:5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
Thoughts on Today's Verse....
God is the God of all comfort (see 2 Cor. 1). Even when he deals harshly with our sin and rebellion, it is for our good. It will last only a short while and then it gives way to rejoicing. If you are in a time of discipline or facing the cruel consequences of sin, please don't give up. Morning will come, and on that dawn will come God's grace. It's more than worth the wait!
